Personal
Jim originally hails from Roslyn, a small community on the eastern slopes of the Cascades in central Washington. It was there that he developed a love for the outdoors, and that affection is one of the primary reasons he has lived in on the east bank of the Snake River in Lewiston, Idaho, since 1992. Jim and his wife, Tracy, a nurse practitioner, dedicate much of their free time to region’s myriad recreational activities, including jet-boating in Hell’s Canyon, camping in the Blues Mountains, or fishing for steelhead on the Clearwater River.
